I’m considering a romantic subplot at the moment and this has made me think about my characters and how to get the readers to connect to them.

I especially like the point about having the character realize that the past or the negative element is holding them back, and having them want to change. I think one thing that makes real people compelling is how they deal with their “issues,” so to speak. I know someone who’s been through a lot of stuff, though you wouldn’t know it to talk to her. Before she began using her past to create the person she is now, she really was not someone most people would find a compelling personality. Most people don’t know why she is the way she is, but it’s because she chose to overcome things. I think that’s a very powerful tool for fiction writers.

The romance portion of my YA novels is something I continue to work on. You don’t want them to be together simply to satisfy the needs of the plot. It has to work on a much deeper level. Thanks, gals!
